Three In A Row

So after my first and second purchases to kick start this year, I picked up one more baseball card on eBay.

It's nothing too fancy (it came in a PWE) but it is something I wasn't going to turn down.

The card itself is a 2007 Choice NY-Penn League Top Prospects card of Zach (Zachary) McAllister. McAllister was originally a third round draft pick by the Yankees back in 2006 but he was traded to the Indians in the Austin Kearns trade (*blech*). He's carved out a nice career for himself as a reliever although it looks like he and the Indians may part ways (Yankees reunion maybe?, the NYY always want bullpen arms).

Z-Mac was one of the two Staten Island Yankee representatives in the 2007 Choice NYPL Top Prospects set.

The other was Dellin Betances.

So after all these years (all two of them) these two are back together and reunited in my collection.
